How-To’s For Holleys—Updated

How many of you learned your Holley carburetor-tuning tricks by reading David Vizard’s How To Super Tune And Modify Holley Carburetors?

3/4

CarTech Books has updated this must-have text with a new edition, which now contains information about Holley’s most recent carburetor models (especially their Ultra Street Avengers and Ultra HP Series four-barrels), as well as loads of information about Holley’s tried-and-true 4150 double-pumpers, 4160 vacuum-secondary models, and Dominators.

Once again, David Vizard explains the science, function, and tuning expertise needed to get your Holley to perform its best in any application, while using any kind of fuel (including E85 and oxygenated gasolines).

Brent Jones’ “Knox County Driller” ’10 Challenger Drag Pack from Wheatland, Indiana, is the third winner this year of Mopar’s Top Eliminator award, and the first one presented to a Mopar-powered NHRA Sportsman racer.

“It’s amazing and just a great honor,” says Brent, who reached the final round of Super Stock H/A class eliminations at the 59th NHRA U.S. Nationals at Indianapolis. “It was very rewarding to see all the time and money spent on this project pay off, and in its very first event.”

Car builder Michael Roth, owner of MR2 Performance, spearheaded the project for Jones, with a total of 4,500 work hours logged to give Brent’s modern Hemi-powered Challenger its unique appearance.

“I pride myself in attention to detail,” said Roth. “The crushed velvet on the interior matches with the paint scheme, and it also provides a 1970s-era Pro Stock vibe.”
